A crash shutdown the northbound lanes of Highway 15 in west St. Cloud for about an hour last (Wednesday) night. The State Patrol says 65-year-old Ernest Gonzales of St. Paul was driving the wrong way when he crashed into another car at about 8:30 p.m.

A Pierz man was struck and killed while lying in the road near Camp Ripley. The State Patrol says the incident happened just before 2:00 a.m. on Monday on Highway 115, about a mile west of Highway 371.

The State Patrol is investigating a crash caused by a trooper who ran a stop sign in Stearns County. The patrol says the trooper Greg Gerhartz told investigators he had just finished a traffic stop and was entering the information into his laptop moments before the crash at an intersection in Sauk Centre Township.

The State Patrol is reporting there were over 440 crashes statewide on Saturday. The heaviest snow fell just to the north of St. Cloud, there was a narrow band from St. Cloud to Hinckley that got dumped on with 10-11 inches of snow.

It won't be long and we will again be driving on snow-covered roads and the State patrol is reminding us to slow down and give ourselves more time. Lieutenant Eric Roeske says statistics show people who are in a hurry and try to make up time have a better chance of going into the ditch or getting into a crash.
